New 2016 Fiesta ST

[Barry]

Hello all, just got myself a 2016 Fiesta ST a few weeks ago. Looking forward to seeing what I can squeeze out of her! Just threw her on the dyno today to get a baseline, looking to possibly start modding her soon and aim for ~250 WHP. [emoji16]

Car is meant to be a daily, so I'm not aiming for any record breaker here, but so far very impressed with how this car handles and how nimble it feels! Perfect daily driver, previous to this I was using the GT-R as a daily... Only problem was MPG and Milage [emoji28]. Getting an impressive average of 31 MPG mixed highway / city driving!

If you get 31 at the tank-math then you must try real hard at the non-part of your DD aspect. You may be surprised.

Welcome. Love that color.

I do 80% city driving and have averaged 29.5 MPG (tank calculated, not computer calculated) over the last 5 tanks without even trying. If I really tried, I know I could get 33-35, but what's the fun in that?

I have had the computer as much as 4.5 MPG higher than the actual tank calculated value so if you want accurate numbers, do the real math.

Welcome! Excited to see what you do! Any pics of the GT-R? (You DD'ed 1000+ whp?!)

I don't think I care that much about MPG but nice to know! [emoji106]

Yep, surprisingly tame until you go into boost. Here are some recent photos:

Oh my. That's just about pure sex right there. Beautiful build! Can't imagine going from the GT-R to the FiST though. Lol.

Thanks! Well.. As a daily the FiST is perfect, it's light, nimble, gets good mileage, quiet, nothing to complain about really lol

Welcome, Barry!

Thanks!

Always nice to hear that even with high hp cars in the garage that the FiST is still fun for you to drive, and welcome!!
